John Paul Lyle, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, died unexpectedly in Divide, Colorado on July 20th at the age of 50.
John Paul is survived by his father, Paul Lyle, of Plainview, Texas, his two children, Dallas and London Lyle of Colorado Springs, his sister, Leah Kay Gabriel, brother in law, Brent Gabriel and his niece and nephew, Garrett and Olivia Gabriel of Southlake, Texas, as well as his aunt and uncle, Jerry and Karolyn Rogers, of Midland, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Kay Lyle of Plainview, Texas.
John Paul was born on April 18, 1968 in Plainview, Texas to Paul and Linda Kay Lyle. He graduated from Plainview High School in 1986, Baylor in 1990 with a bachelor of arts in sociology, and Baylor Law School in 1992 with a Juris Doctor degree. After moving to Colorado Springs, John Paul began working for Porter, Spencer, and Patin Law Firm as an attorney. Over the course of his life, John Paul also worked as an attorney for several law firms, including El Paso County District Attorney’s Office (1993-1995), Braden, Frindt, Stinar and Stageman (1995-1997), and Lyle and Moran Law
(19972006). He operated his own brief landscaping business, JP Lyle Landscapes in 2006, and was a 5th Judicial District Mag-istrate from 2007-2008, and returned to law as an attorney once again with Marrison Law Firm from 2008-2015. He spent the last few years of his life on sabbatical back in his hometown of Plainview, Texas, working part time as substitute teacher at several Plainview schools. John Paul is remembered by his family for his cleverness, intelligence, perspective, intellect, many artistic talents, his love for gardening, his punctual sense of humor, which never failed to liven up the room, and his soft, kind soul. His inquisitive demeanor and attention to detail always shined through his work, whether it was a unique dresser he built and carved by hand, a landscape he designed, a case he worked on, or one of his many incredible drawings.
His laugh was eclectic and his compassion and generosity demonstrated through an array of community involvement and volunteer service at the Ben S. Wendelkin America Inn of Court, El Paso County Bar Association which he chaired the Ask A Lawyer Program, First Presbyterian Church, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
John Paul also suffered from chronic depression, a disease he struggled with for many years. While he was unable to overcome his battle, he was a fierce and persistent fighter who lived every day of his life as fully as he could.
A memorial service is scheduled for Monday, July 30th in the chapel of First Baptist Church in Plainview, with a reception to follow in the parlor. All are welcome to attend and celebrate John Paul’s life.
In lieu of flowers, his children request that donations be sent to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Information for both of these charities as well as their local and Colorado Springs chapters can be found online.
